For all it's success it's still kind of a niche-language (and even with the amount of Google compiler developers, they're are spread thin between V8, Go, Dart,etc).
I think the keys to Risc-V in terms of software will be,
LLVM (gives us C, C++, Rust, Zig,etc), this is probably already happening?
JavaScript (V8 support for Android should be the biggest driver, also enabling Node,Deno,etc but it's speed will depend on Google interest)
JVM (Does Oracle have interest at all? Could be a major roadblock unless Google funds it, again depends on Android interest).
So Android on Risc-V could really be a game-changer but Google just backed down a bit recently.
Dotnet(games) and Ruby (and even Python?) would probably be like Go with custom runtimes/JIT's needing custom work but no obvious clear marketshare/funding.
It'll remain a niche but I do really think Android devices (or something else equally popular, a chinese home-PC?) would be the gamechanger to push demand over the top.
